Re: embarrassed I took it to the shop
I have run into a few cases where after doing a brake job the brake pedal is spongey, to the point you can push the brake padal to the floor. Take the vehicle for a test drive and it does not stop. As stated earlier, the pads have to be burnished, but there are times when the PADS are just too spongy. In the past I have done one of two things, replace the pads is one. The other is to carefully drive the vehicle to get the brakes fairly hot,then let it sit with a brake pedal depresser holding the brakes as hard as possable and let it sit for a few hours'
